- Speaking_of_Research abstract "Speaking of Research (SR) is a US-based group which actively supports the use of animals in biomedical research. It was founded in March, 2008 by Tom Holder, an "energetic young British activist who played an active role in the Pro-Test movement at the University of Oxford," who moved to the US for the purpose of setting up such a group. Holder had previously been spokesman for Pro-Test, as well as acting as emcee for their three demonstrations.Speaking of Research state their aims are to "change the tide of the controversial animal rights debate by encouraging students and scientists to speak out in favor of the lifesaving research developed with animals." Their launch came during a period of increased direct action in the US. Since 2007, a number of researchers from the University of California system have had their homes attacked by animal rights activists, including one University of California, Santa Cruz(UCSC) researcher whose residence was invaded by six masked activists on February 24, 2008. According to the journal Science, the group also aims to "[work] with public schools to counter information from groups such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals."Speaking of Research is jointly supported by both Pro-Test in the UK, and Americans for Medical Progress in the US. In 2009/10, its running costs were approximately $100 and paid by Pro-Test. Its committee is made up primarily of researchers and veterinary technicians, including several members of UCLA Pro-Test such as Dr. David Jentsch and Dr. Dario Ringach – the latter of whom publicly quit using animals in 2006, sending a letter to animals rights groups declaring "you win... please don't bother my family anymore."During "World Week for Animals in Laboratories (2008)," Holder traveled to West Coast universities including UCLA, Berkeley, Oregon Health & Sciences University, and the University of Washington to speak about the role of animals in biomedical research.".
